Happy new year

Posted on January 1, 2004

In Denmark 2 people were killed by fireworks, one got his head blown off,
literally, by an illegal chrysantemum bomb. The fuse went out so he walked
back to it to relight it, and it went off almost instantly. He won't do it
again. The other one were just plain unlucky with, probably, legal
fireworks.

I played Ludo for 3½ hours
last night, only interrupted by midnight and fireworks in a 6-player game.
Lots of fun, and it was only made more fun by being with variously retarded
people at the institution where Mette Marie works.

If you're buying a computer in the coming year, don't get one that uses
Windows. It's simply too insecure. (Did you know there's a secret
“administrator” account and password on every machine? You
didn't? Every hacker does.) Get one with the Linux operating system
installed (Evesham
does them, for example) or an Apple machine running OSX. Both systems are fast,
stable and secure. With Windows XP… well, sometimes two out of three
really is bad.

Sadly he overlooks BSD, but then again, Mac OS Xis based on
BSD after all, so I guess it's OK…
